As a sports enthusiast, I'm thrilled to see such high-profile talent in Mumbai. Paula Josemaria and Marta Ortega are legends! But I wish there were more Indian players in the squads. We need homegrown talent to compete at this level. Still, great exposure for our country.
Finally, international padel is making waves in Asia! I've been following the World Padel League from the UK and it's amazing to see Mumbai hosting top-tier talent. The Khan Tigers lineup looks solid. Might just book a flight for this! ✈️
Well organised by Iconik Sports. The Dome at SVP is a great venue for this. I just hope the pricing on BookMyShow is reasonable for a family outing. With inflation these days, every rupee counts. But if the kids get to see even one Premier Padel champion live, it'll be worth it.
Great to see women's padel getting equal billing. Paula Josemaria vs Beatriz Gonzalez in the same league is a treat. But I'm curious—are there any Indian broadcasters picking this up? Would be great for Doordarshan or a streaming platform to show it live.
Sanyo Gutierrez playing for Game Changers Lions! That's massive. The guy was World No. 1 for a reason. But honestly, the league needs to develop grassroots programs alongside these flashy events. Build courts in smaller cities, train local coaches. That's how padel will truly grow in India.
